Zamalek SC edged past Ittihad Alexandria SC with a 1-0 victory in the Egyptian Premier League on March 7, 2026. A solitary goal was enough for the Cairo giants to claim all three points in a tightly contested match at the Cairo International Stadium. The only goal of the game came in the first half, with Zamalek's striker finishing coolly after a defensive mistake from the Ittihad backline. Ittihad Alexandria grew into the game and created several good chances in the second half, but they were denied by a combination of poor finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Zamalek's number one. The win is vital for Zamalek's title aspirations, keeping pace with the leaders at the top of the Premier League table, while Ittihad's valiant effort away from home yields no reward. Zamalek's coach highlighted the importance of grinding out results, while the Ittihad manager expressed pride in his team's performance despite the loss.
